I have a big mouth, what can I say? … A LOT!

This was my first time doing X2 Shoulders + Arms. I thought I would love it, and I DID! My favorite part of P90X and Asylum were the resistance workouts, and this one did not disappoint. Nothing makes you feel like a strong, sexy woman quite like lifting weights. And don’t get me wrong… this isn’t weight lifting for bulk. This is weight lifting for lean, sexy, strong muscle. The kind of muscle that helps you burn fat, kicks up your metabolism… we could all use a little more of that! :)

 

Day 31 was Recovery + Mobility. I won’t be posting on those days as it would be boring to hear about my rolling around on the Rumble Roller for a couple of hours. :)

 

Favorite Move of the Day:

Six Direction Shoulder Fly - Aaaaah this is such a beautiful move!! I wanted to do more than 8, but that’s all I could manage. I did my best to give you a good example of this move below. Just imagine moving through those stances, in a fluid motion… gorgeous muscle burn!

Today’s “Need Improvement” :

I actually do not have one - I really did kill this workout. My arms are strong, and I knew I’d do well. It’s so exciting when I can live up to the expectations I have for myself, and I did today! I of course will work on upping weight throughout this phase. Today I mostly used my 7 lb & 5 lb weights. Had to use my 3 lbs a few times as well for the really tough kickbacks, but overall I did very well. 12-15 reps for every exercise, and as much weight as I could possibly handle the first time around. Feeling great today! Can’t wait for this workout next week. :)

 
By the way, X2 Ab Ripper is a BEAST of an ab workout. I have never worked my midsection so hard in such a short amount of time as I have with this and the original Ab Ripper X. If you need a phenomenal ab routine, do it… period. It’s bananas.
